Your journey at a glance
A private arrival. A clear fare.
Travel between Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise and Gold Coast Airport for $102 each way in a private Cadillac LYRIQ. The reference journey is 31.3 km and around 37 minutes’ driving, before traffic allowance. The same published fare applies in either direction, for the vehicle rather than each passenger.
Your pickup at Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise
Select Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise at 86 The Esplanade, not the group's Broadbeach or Southport properties. Meriton publishes a temporary pickup and set-down zone at the hotel entrance. Confirm the precise meeting point with your GGCLT driver and be ready with bags for the agreed collection. The View Avenue entrance mentioned in Meriton's parking information serves its separate offsite car park; it should not be assumed to be the hotel transfer meeting point.
